Product Details
This plant is traditionally used as a medicinal plant by many native peoples and herbalists alike. Stembark, leaves, flowers, fruits, and root extracts are used to treat bronchitis, cough, upper respiratory cold infections, fever. In a placebo-controlled, double-blind study, black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) was shown to be effective for treating Influenza B. People using the elderberry extract recovered much faster than those only on a placebo. The study was published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine. Zinc is a proven and trusted supplement for supporting a healthy immune system. However, some evidence suggests that zinc intakes among older adults might be marginal. When the investigators considered intakes from both food and dietary supplements, they found that 20%–25% of older adults still had inadequate zinc intakes.
This formula combines some of the most-researched-proven ingredients to provide the best support to immunity and fight the common cold and flu. Vitamins, Minerals and herbals form a synergetic bled that helps to treat the symptoms and support the immune system to fight off bacterial infection, and viruses to lessen the length and severity of colds and flu. Vitamin C, Elderberry, Echinacea and Zinc are combined to support white blood cell function. Bee propolis provides natural anti-biotic action. Lozenge allows action to begin working on a sore throat, a common sign that infection is setting in. Slippery elm is added to provide relief for a sore throat. Naturally flavoured and sweetened, and suitable for diabetics.
